Al-Shami releases "Doctor" and the audience interacts

After teasing the audience on Instagram, Al Shami released his new song, “Doctor.”

Hours before the song was released, Al-Shami posted on Instagram: “Don’t think dancing is joy, because the bird dances while it is slaughtered in pain.”

Al Shami launches "Doctor"

The song “Doctor” is written and composed by Al-Shami, with musical arrangement by Fouad Junaid. The clip was directed by Hassan Rahayel. Al-Shami performed the “Pain Dance” in the clip, which is a dramatic dance that embodies feelings of pain and suffering, and he succeeded in conveying the feeling to the audience, especially with the reactions that accompanied it.

Lyrics of the song "Doctor"

The lyrics of Al-Shami’s song say: “I thought you were a support that wouldn’t bend after all the talk. What came from you was nothing but talk. You are neither left nor right. I am afraid of being close. I am afraid of the heartbeat. You are neither a companion on the path nor even a passerby. Where are you from the world, you distant one?”

Oh Mimi, I am an illusion, all my expectations were disappointed. Woe to me, what a traitor! Doctor, my pain is gone and will never return. The light in me has gone out. He is affectionate and has left me cold. Doctor, my pain is gone and will never return. The light in me has gone out. He is affectionate and has left me cold.

Public interaction and opinions

After less than 24 hours, the song achieved more than two million views on YouTube, but at the same time, Al-Shami was subjected to a severe attack, firstly for the lyrics of the song, which cannot resemble the Arabic language, according to the audience, and secondly, that during the clip, signs appear calling Al-Shami “the Godfather of the Generation.”

There were those who objected to Al-Shami giving himself this title without any indication from the audience.

In 2024, Al-Shami won several awards, including the “Joy Awards” for his song “Ya Leil Ya Ain”, the “Murex d’Or” award for Best Rising Arab Star, in addition to four awards from “Billboard Arabia”.
